Default Door Handle removal

I want to paint my door handles to match the truck. I took the door panel off of the rear door to look and onlyone screw is visible holding the handle on. Where is the other one and what needs tobe done to get it off? Same with the front handles..

To remove door handles: Remove door panel with Philips head. Two screws at the bottom, one at the mirror and one behind the door handle. One holds behind the door handle on the back door. Remove the Torx screw that holds the door handle to the door with a Torx 40. Pull off the panel and peel down the top corner of membrane at the door lock pins. Use a 5/16" socket to remove the nuts holding the handle on. There is a black rubber piece to remove to be able to get to the 2nd nut on the rear doors. Pull out the handles and remove the handle from the bar. That's it.

Are you using the new Duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray paint? Let us know how it works.
I saw a small segment on Truck Universe (Speed TV) where they showed a car where the owner painted the seats and door panels 2-tone. Looked great, but I'm skeptical about the durability.

Default RE: Door Handle removal

As of now, I am just painting the exterior door handles. I have thought about painting the top section of the interior doors, but I'm just not sure if I want to do that. However, I have painted the lock/window control plates and the plastic around the CD player and climate controls. I can post pics of that and I will post pics of the handles when I put them on tomorrow. I have to clear coat them today..
